Kinetiq is the leading liquid staking protocol on Hyperliquid, enabling users to stake HYPE for kHYPE while maintaining liquidity to deploy capital across DeFi—solving capital inefficiency through intentional design and reliable infrastructure. The product itself is widely praised for strong execution, fair rewards, and seamless integration with the ecosystem, though the token launch (TGE) execution disappointed many and drew criticism around points distribution transparency and community communication. Despite post-launch challenges, the protocol maintains substantial TVL, consistent yield, and deep ecosystem support, with the team recognized for technical competence and commitment to building core onchain infrastructure.

“Hyperliquid: Promising Infrastructure”Hyperliquid has built an interesting ecosystem, and the projects under its umbrella show solid ideas and execution. While I’ve heard some users were disappointed with rewards from the point farming programs—which I can’t personally comment on—

“broken promises with points”at first said theyd honor lstHype vaults to earn points since the vault had kinetiq exposure, they benefited from the TVL that the vault brought them but when it came time to distribute points they blacklisted lstHype wallets from hyperbeat discord: Several vaults supported Kinetiq’s launch with full knowledge and alignment between both teams. Vaults utilized kHYPE across HyperEVM protocols e.g. Felix, Hyperlend etc. to generate returns. Hyperbeat was also featured on Kinetiq’s earn page with further integrations across Morphobeat and Masterswap. Early in the program, Kinetiq’s points system experienced technical problems resulting in faulty distributions. When we raised this directly with their team, they assured us these issues would be resolved in future distributions. During this period, the Kinetiq team requested calls with Hyperbeat to better understand our vault infrastructure. Following these discussions, they asked for all vault addresses, claiming this would help them properly allocate points. After we shared the requested vault addresses, Kinetiq removed all accumulated points and blacklisted future distributions. When raised with their team directly they declined to comment on the blacklist, instead adding in their legal council and stating: “There is no answer is very clearly an answer, not one you guys will like but it’s an answer” “Strong products naturally attract users. If your vault product has a superior offering, that alone should be sufficient to drive user adoption based on merit” To avoid unnecessary damage to the Hyperliquid ecosystem through unnecessary infighting users were informed directly on discord with vaults reallocating into strategies providing the best for users. The only addresses that continued earning were lstHYPE addresses, specifically because they were not shared. Only after their points program concluded and points were directly assigned to users did Kinetiq blacklist the lstHYPE as well. It is unfortunately now clear that their intention was always to blacklist users, extracting as much information as possible under the guise of fixing issues to then use that information to systematically exclude participants in the most comprehensive way possible.

“Hype Staking Protocol”I stake my HYPE directly on the platform to get kHYPE, which lets me keep earning staking rewards while staying fully liquid. No more locking up assets and missing out on DeFi opportunities, that's the biggest win for me. I can throw kHYPE into lending pools, use it as collateral, or just hold it without penalties, and the rewards keep accruing automatically. It's seamless and feels way more capital-efficient than traditional staking on other chains. Kinetiq solves real pain points for stakers and traders, delivers reliable yields, and keeps expanding

“Strong Fundamentals, Unfortunate Timing”Kinetiq is a solid product at its core, but the market conditions and timing of its token launch made it challenging for the team to gain post-TGE momentum. Despite that, the protocol showed strong traction before the launch, with healthy TVL levels. With the right adjustments and patience, there’s still room for long-term, sustainable growth.

“Decent product but messy execution”Kinetiq as a product is actually not bad. The idea is solid and they had pretty strong TVL before the token launch, so clearly there was interest.

“Best Staking”owering liquid staking and next-gen onchain markets on Hyperliquid ⚡ enables capital-efficient staking while supporting markets_xyz to unlock deeper liquidity and real onchain finance. A decentralized exchange + blockchain focused initially on perpetual futures and derivatives via on-chain central limit order books. Evolving into broader DeFi infrastructure with staking (HYPE), liquid staking (kHYPE), tokenized assets, and now markets like markets_xyz

“The Best LST Platform on HyperEVM”Kinetiq is an LST that integrates directly with HyperCore, letting users stake their HYPE while still being able to deploy it on other protocols. With more than $1.5 billion in TVL, the platform clearly enjoys strong community support and demand. By partnering with the Hyperliquid community, Kinetiq rewards users based on their holdings and activity on HyperEVM, creating an engaging incentive structure. Their team is also highly responsive any question or ticket on Discord is answered promptly. All in all, Kinetiq sets a benchmark for anyone looking to build on Hyperliquid, and I’m excited to keep earning kPoints that will eventually bring even more rewards to its users.

“Powering Liquid Staking on Hyperliquid”Kinetiq feels like one of those projects that just makes sense on Hyperliquid. The way it approaches liquid staking is both practical and forward-looking you can stay liquid without giving up on securing the network, which is a big win for capital efficiency in DeFi. What stood out to me is how smooth and intuitive the design is, and how well it aligns with the rest of the Hyperliquid ecosystem. It’s rare to see a project this early that already feels polished, and I think Kinetiq has the potential to become a key piece of the puzzle here.
